Legendary Queen guitarist Brian May has signed 11 guitars made by Badger Guitars, owned by Mark Badger, which are to be made available to buy on the eBay auction website from Saturday 26th August. All proceeds will go to badger charities in areas around the country most affected by the cull policy, listed below, as well as May’s own Save Me Trust. The guitars have been donated by Philip White, founder of Red Badger records, who proposed the auction as a means of benefiting badger groups in the UK and to support the work of charities who believe the government badger cull is ineffective and inhumane.

The eBay auctions get underway Saturday 26th August at 12 noon and continue through to September 5th. Each auction runs for 7 days

The Save Me Trust gives a voice to animals. Its core work is in halting the badger culls and protecting and strengthening the Hunting Act. Science clearly shows that killing badgers will never stop Bovine TB in cattle. Save Me aims to work collaboratively to find the solution to this devastating disease. Anne Brummer

Harper Asprey Wildlife RescueMonday 28th August 12 noon.eBay Auction Number- 253086451688 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253086451688Harper Asprey helps orphaned and injured badger cubs to get back to the wild and has done so for nearly 30 years. It is wonderful to see the young orphans develop their natural instincts and establish themselves in family groups before they are set free for a natural life in the wild. Lyn Powell.

Team BadgerAuction Date Tuesday 29th August 12 Noon eBay Auction Number- http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253086454055Team Badger is the largest coalition of wildlife groups united by a single purpose - to bring a stop to the Badger cull. Badger culling by free shooting is inhumane, and ineffective in stopping the spread of bovine TB in cattle. And it is expensive - every badger killed costs the British taxpayer around £7000 and meanwhile not one badger has been tested for bovine TB! This gross destruction of a protected species cannot be allowed to continue. Nigel Palmer.

Dorset will sadly witness badger culls on all of its green and pleasant land. The funds raised will go to good use: we have set up an independent Camp Badger for people coming into the area to help patrol. Fuel will be our biggest need as ours is a huge area to cover.

Wildlife and Badger Carers Auction Date Sunday 3rd September 12 noon.eBay Auction Number - 253086465923 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/253086465923'How fantastic that red badger records is doing this for so many groups and charities that care, protect and respect badgers. Badgers are shy, secretive animals that just ask for the night to be theirs and to be left alone, yet they continue to be persecuted, snared and shot because of the historic mind set of man.’ Many thanks.

Red Badger Records“I have always wanted to take my charity work to the next level. This will hopefully be the first of many projects, and hopefully more, that are badger oriented”, says founder Philip White.
